The group show CARA ADÍLIA will open on March 14, from 4 pm. to 6 pm. The exhibition will be on view until April 5 and the admission is free.
Adília Lopes is the pseudonym of a woman who marked contemporary Portuguese poetry with a profoundly original work that subverted the established categories of the genre. Her writing, marked by an unusual combination of the prosaic and the erudite, the everyday and the metaphysical, baffled literary critics and opened up new horizons for Portuguese literature.
Adília played with words and transformed the banal into poetic material, addressing feminine and domestic themes, love and lovelessness, with candour, irony and despondency. The verses, simple in appearance, carry a density that results from a unique linguistic exploration, renouncing traditional lyricism but maintaining a depth that moves, makes you laugh and think.
